COMBINATION=BRACKET WASH-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 387,832, dated August 14, 1888.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, GAYGER D. TOLMAN and LORENZO I). Rojnnn'rs, of Shawano, in the county of Shawano and State of Visconsin, have invented. a new and Improved CombinationBr-acket \Vashfitaud, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improvement in bracket wash-stands; and it consists in a wash-stand constructed with a bracket having supports for various toilet articles,constructed and arranged as hereinafter described and claimed.

The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention ready for use.

In carrying out the invention a bracket, 1, of wood or other suitable material and of any desired shape, is employed. The bracket 1 may be secured to a wall or other support by screws, or in any other way desired. At the top of the bracket 1 a brush and comb holder may be secured of any convenient shape and material. The brush and. comb holder 2 preferably consists of a wire bent either as shown or in any other form adapted to hold a comb and brush, the ends of the wire being passed through the bracket 1 and secured by bending or otherwise. Beneath holder 2 is secured a shelf, 3, for a soap-dish or other article, supported by a brace-rod, 4, and beneath the shelf 3 a towel arm or bracket, 5, is pivotally secured by eyes 6 to the bracket 1.

At the lower portion of bracket 1 is located a support, 7, for a \vash-bowl,which consists of a wire rod bent as shown, with its ends passing through a sleeve, 8, and turned at right angles at 9. The ends 9 are inserted in eyes 10 on the bracket 1, and form therewith a hinge for support 7. The bent ends of wire 7 are soldered together and to sleeve 8. To brace support 7 and a bowl placed therein the rod 11 is employed, having one bent end, 12, inserted in a hole in plate 13 on bracket 1 and its other end bent at 11 and fastened in sleeve 8. By this means the hinged portion of support 7 is relieved from strain.

WVhen desired, the support 7 may be turned up out of the way, as shown in dotted lines, the lower end of rod 11 having been withdrawn from plate 18.

To complete the device, a shelf, 14,, for a pitcher is provided,having hangers of wire bent, as shown, to form loops 16, and having their ends 17 bent over the edge of shelf 14: and secured thereto in any suitable manner. The loops 16 are of such shape that when the shelf 14 and its hangers 15 are raised to a right angle with bracket 1 the loops 16 may he slipped over the'heads 18 of pins 19 in plate 13, and on which the hangers 15 are suspended when the shelf is in the position shown. By means of a bracket washstand constructed and arranged as set forth a simple and convenient device is provided.

We make no broad claim in this application to a bracket wash-stand consisting of a slab or bracket-board adapted to be secured to a wall or other support and having a folding washbowl-supporting frame and a pitcher-shelf suspended from said bracket-board, as shown and described in our application pending herewith, filed February 1, 1888, Serial No. 262,632.

Having thus fully described our invention,

we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a bracket wash-stand, a folding washbowl support consisting of rod 7,bent to form a circle and secured to asleevc, 8, with its ends 9 resting in eyes 10 on bracket 1, and the inclined brace-rod 11, substantially as described.

2. In a bracket wash -stand, a removable pitcher-shelf, 14, having hangers 15, formed with loops 16, engaging pins 19 on plate 13, having heads 18, substantially as described.
